Salads have come a long way since the days of limp lettuce and woolly-tasting tomatoes. Feast on Delia's wonderful combinations for real summer eating.
Serves 4, or 6 as a starterThai Bean Salad with Pink Grapefruit and Grapes
In Thailand, they use pomelo in salads, which is very similar to grapefruit. I have used pink grapefruit here, but when they're not available, you could ring the changes and use a thinly sliced, medium-sized mango.
Serves 6Poached Quail Egg Salad with Watercress and Tarragon Sauce
This lovely summery salad is extremely easy to make and looks really impressive when entertaining.
Serves 2Marinated Courgette and Coriander Salad
Courgettes grow like the clappers – fast. So you have to be vigilant and collect them every day or you end up with huge marrows and whilst the odd marrow is not to be despised, too many can be a problem, especially as most country people are desperat
Serves 6 as a starter or 4 as a main courseChickpea, Chilli and Coriander Cakes with Marinated Red Onion Salad
These are served at Norwich City Football Club and are always enjoyed by vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. They can be made in advance, if entertaining, and are a brilliant way to incorporate healthy pulses in the diet.
Serves 4 as a starterTunisian Aubergine Salad with Coriander and Yoghurt
This is my adaptation of an Elizabeth David recipe. I never actually made it from her book, but one of my favourite restaurants, Chez Bruce, in Wandsworth, London, regularly serves it as a first course. It's so wonderful I never have anything else if
Serves 1Chicken Waldorf Salad - One is Fun!
This would make a perfect main-course salad for a hot summer's day, served on a bed of crisp lettuce and garnished with watercress. A Marks & Spencer cooked chicken leg portion is the perfect size.
Serves 1Tuna and Pasta Salad with Tarragon and Lemon Dressing
If you want a light meal in a hurry, then this will take you barely fifteen minutes from start to finish. If you're extra hungry, I suggest you use 2 oz (50 g) of pasta.
Serves 4Egg and Anchovy Salad
This is a nice dish for lunch on a hot summer's day with, maybe, a chilled soup to start with.
Serves 4Brown Rice Salad
Brown rice is packed with good nutrition, so enjoy feeling virtuous with this tasty and easy low-fat vegetarian salad, ideal for lunch or as part of a buffet.
